In the days of Sir Joshua Reynolds
very fine landscapes by such masters as
Claude, Poussin. Cuyp, Ruysdael and
Hobbema were to be bought for 200
or 800 guineas, and the highest for a
Claude was f520 for that beautiful pie
ture known as 1.-The Enchanted Castle
in the sale of NJ. de Callonne's (the
French Ambassador collection i'm 1895
in London, and $500 for the companion
picture, described in the sale catalogue
as equally beautiful but which has
nos not been identified. The prices
which eyinee high estimate of Claude
before the days of modern landscapes
are positively insignificant compared to
those paid at auction during the last
twenty years for landscapes and sea
pieces by Turner, Constable, David Cox,
Copley, Fielding, William Collins, w.
Muller, Stanfeld and Linnell. These
go by thousands instead of hundreds of
guineas. And Gainsborough comes into
this honorable account now, though his
landscapes while he painted them were
thought little of, and he died leaving
the passage and staircase Of his rooms
in Schomberg House, Pail Mall, en-
numbered with them. Yet we have not
seen Mt Christies' his "Market Cart
bought for the National Gallery 81 fan
back as 1928 at close upon Il 200, and
just twenty years ago his Harvest
Wagon for e., 147 los; in 1875 his
"Rustics of a Road for 93, 400, and in
1888 peasants and Golfers Going to
Market, f2,S35? These are figures
worthy of lis genius. High prices for
pictures by Crome, Patrick Nasmith,
George Vincent. Gotham, and others of
the old school might also be quoted.
Aud still more forcibly to show tie in
creased appreciation of Landscapes at
the present time there are not to be for

More than 100000 pounds of the
foil are used annually to cover the
smoking and chewing tobacco manu-
featured in the United States alone.
The method of making it is interesting.
The tin is of course first taken out of
the mines, the best of which for this
purpose are i'm Australia and the Dutch
possessions of the East Indies. The
metal is found in veins or assures call
ed lodes, though it is often found in a
dispersed form in loose stones, which
when found continuously are called
streams. The rock containing the ore
is blasted with gunpowder and carried
to the stamping mill, where it is pound
ed and washed. tits next smelted and
the tin run into blocks containing from
200 to 400 weight each. This is the
condition in which the metal is kept for
ordinary use.
Two means are used to reduce it to
the necessary thinness. The old man
ner of hammering by hand after being
cut is still used to great extent. BY
this process. however, only one surface
could be produced, and to obviate this
difficulty rolling mills We're invented.
Prior to their invention nearly all the
tinfoil was imported. but their use has
completely revolutionized the trade.
The metal is now placed between two

celebrated case of Hogg VS.. Swinesby

Young Married Women In England.

The remark is now often made that a
bali viii be very smart one, as all the
pretty young married women will be
there, says the London Sunday Review;
and where they are the good men, as
they are called, will also collect. The
present habit of loose conversation
may to q great extent be attributed to
them, as they allow the men to say
things that formerly would never have
been dreamed of. Men are now what
the women have made IT, u, and when
they IND that they are aL' ed freedom
of conversation and unlimited Irritation
they avail themselves of it and this
cause Is to a great extent answerable
for the general lowering of the tone of
society nowadays. 1t is thought
nothing extraordinary at the present
day for young married woman to sit
ont most of the evening in quiet cor
ner or conservatory with the same man,
or to give a man lift in her carriage
part Of the way home. If yonng girl
sits out long time with the same man
on several occasions the world imme-
diately says it will be match, or, if
not, that it ought to be. and that he is
behaving very badly to her.
Why, then, are we to suppose that
a young married woman may be doing
the same thing constantly without
rousing the suspicious of others? But
notoriety is the prevailing fashion, and
it is considered a great thing now to be
seen in music halls and restaurants
chiefly used by the demimondes, not
that there is any pretense that these
places are more amusing than the
theatres, etc., but there is that feeling
so charming TO many ladies of the pres
ent day, that they are doing something
that is out of the way and almost wrong.
There is the same fascination in going
TO these places that there is in reading
French novels of more than doubtful
morality. Let it be but known that
there is book out that is hardly decent,
and the rush for it is immense among
our young married ladies and even
among some of the elder spinsters.
Irdeed not to have read any book that
is more indecent than usual is to be
out of the fashion.

the foil which is beaten and that which

holes, but the foil to be used for to
bacco wrappers must be air tight.

ago in the court room OF
Justice of the Peace Lyon. Two
fine and intelligent looking members OF
the colored population entered his
Office and asked TO be married. The cere-
mony Immediately commenced, but the
words olive together" were reached, a
loud and decided mo sah!' broke upon
the startled air from the lips of the col
ored Romeo. s'She all know dat am

elias brack niggah-"
Here the Justice interrupted, just in
time, no doubt. to prevent a pleasant
little love spat. They soon became
convinced, however, that they must
make the proper responses in order to
have the ceremony proceeded with, and
they were soon made as nearly one as
possible. As they left the room. their
countenances seemed to be lighted more
by the beams of the hot sun of devour-
ing wrath, than by the mellow reflec-
tiOns of honeymoon. As they reached
the street the groom said:
..Dis yah street am Great Jones
street; hit perjects due norf an souf.
Yo' cose am norf. and mine souf. :"
They have been going in opposite di-
rections ever since. The mystery is
that neither time or investigation has
developed any cause for the marriage.
These are few accounts of marriages
by justices of the peace-glimpses into
the real nature of few specimens fished
at random out of the public of humanity.
They are interesting because the mar
riage ceremony frequently brings out
some national superstition or personal
trait of character, and lone touch of
not only ''makes the whole
world kin, but frequently shows that
no two men are alike any more than il
is possible to find two leaves exactly
similar.

Typewriting a Fine Art.

1t Is quite a surprising thing to OBJ
serve low many incompetent typewriter
operators there are. says the st. Louis
Globe. Their ineompeteney springs
from wrong instruction or no instruc-
ton at all. An employer does not no
tice it, though, unless he happens to be
an operator himself. Comic any large
business house where number of type
writers are in use, and you will see that
no two in adozen are fingered properly.
Ia fact, il seems a. if the operator never
heard that each letter should be touched
with certain finger, according TO the
word it is in, and that each hand should
do an equal share of the work. Some
use only the foreigner of each hand,
others only two fingers ON each hand.
while the number of those who strike
the space bar with their finger, instead
of with the thumb is legion. Ii would
be impossible to keep a count of those
who use their right hand nearly eNclu-
Siyely, ard time would fail one TO emu
merate those who have the wrong touch
entirely. All this botch work is due to

Happy Homes.

Much has been written and said about
how to make home happy. Tho moralist
and the preacher have hackneyed this
theme until il would seem nothing more re-
manned TO be said. But the philosophers
have gone far out of their way to account
for tbs prevalence OF ILL assorted couples and
unhappy homes, and have overlooked the
chief cause. Most Of the unhappiness of
married life can be traced directly to those
functional arrangements TO which women
are subject. In nine cases out OF ten the
